Coffee Description
Sweet, juicy pear, toffee, and Peruvian dark chocolate jump out of the cup, joined by peach butter, berry cobbler, and hints of rosemary and pepper. A classic Peruvian profile with sweet juicy acidity, this coffee is clean and complex and definitely special.

About Rosendo Cotrina Huaman of Peru
Finca La Esperanza (Farm of Hope) is the loved land of Rosendo Cotrina Huaman, a man passionate about producing exceptional coffee. He’s not content to just grow coffee, satisfying as that is. He’s also integrally involved in the movement in Peru to produce not just coffee, but coffee that deserves a high end specialty label.
On his 4 hectares, he produces about 200 quintales (100 lb bags) annually, hand harvested and meticulously processed on site. Rosendo’s yield has the honor of being listed as one of Olam Coffee Importer’s “Top Lot” coffees, a category made up of top-scoring coffees. Case Coffee Roasters says they tasted a lot of Peruvian coffees before finding this special micro-lot.
